Senior managing director Thomas Didio, managing director Thomas E. Didio, Jr., director Gerard Quinn and associate Michael Mataras worked on behalf of Russo Development, LLC in arranging the three-year, floating-rate loan through Wells Fargo & Company.
Located at 51 US 1 in New Brunswick, The Raye offers convenient access to major highways, including Route 18, US 1 and the New Jersey Turnpike. The property will also provide private shuttle service to the New Brunswick Train Station. Phase I, comprising 272 units, is approximately 65% leased, with full stabilization expected by the fourth quarter of 2025. Phase II stabilization is expected for Q3 2027.
“The Raye is a transformative project for the New Brunswick’s multi-housing market,” said Didio. “This financing package demonstrates continued lender confidence in well-located, high-quality multifamily developments with strong sponsorship like Russo Development.”
